0) If you don't already have one, you will need to create a Dreamwidth account. It's easy and free to sign up, and Dreamwidth is a very open, honest site.

After that point it will be held in the queue until the current batch of applications is stamped (Saturday after 3 p.m. EST).4) Once you get stamped, the mods will give you more information about joining your team community and other communities that are part of finalfantasyland.5) Introduce yourself to your new team and you can begin participating in challenges right away! :D

• The application puts everything behind a cut so if you don't mess anything up, it should remain that way. But if you find that the cut didn't work, refer to this article about how to use cuts.

• Your answers should all be after the </b> tag that ends each question.

• Make sure you're in HTML mode. When you post an entry, in the top-right corner are two tabs -- Rich text and HTML. Be sure to select HTML.

• Preview your entry before you post it. You unfortunately won't be able to tell whether your cut worked, but at least you'll be able to see if you accidentally bolded all your answers or if the HTML got mangled.

If you've filled out your app correctly, it should look something like this:

4) Describe how you typically work in teams. Is it generally a good experience, or do you prefer working by yourself?
